What is Symbian OS v9.x Platform Security ?

  • It follows a per-process capability-based model
  • It compartmentalises the system, according to access capabilities, to APIs and files
  • It makes sure that the users can make policy decisions they understand
  • It is Kernel mediated but server enforced
  • It is a fine-grained way to efficiently restrict or completely prevent unauthorised access to sensitive APIs and data on the mobile phone while keeping the device open to developers.
